I'm Micaiah Buttars,

a Web Developer and UX Designer from Salt Lake City, Utah.

My long-standing appreciation of design and interest in human psychology is what initially led me to pursue UX Design, which then sparked a desire to know how to build out and code the designs I made.

As a culmination of my interests in art, music, video games, and my knack for trying to make
creative endeavours into realities; I’m currently in the process of teaching myself C++ to make a video game from scratch.

Alongside Lauren Irish and Spencer Vorhees, my classmates at DevMountain,
we faithfully recreated Airbnb's desktop website to demonstrate our abilities as full stack developers by using a blend of outside technologies — such as react-image-lightbox, and Airbnb's own react-dates — as well as our own homebrewed functionalities, such as the on-hover effects of the listing view images.

OnTarget

April 2019 — Present |Web Development | React CSS NodeJs

Hosted project can be found here.Github repo can be found here.
OnTarget began as a personal project at DevMountain intended to assess my skills with the basics of HTML, JavaScript, and React. It has moved beyond that assessment into a mobile responsive web app that I am fully developing.

As the child of an educator who had a specific need, this project was designed to meet the needs of teachers that work with students with behavioral concerns. OnTarget seeks to streamline the paper/pencil data keeping process for teachers and paraprofessionals. By digitizing this process, valuable time is saved, and student behavioral data is immediately available at a teacher's fingertips. This allows educators to better assess the effectiveness of a student's behavior plan, and easily spot behavioral patterns in a given interval.

OnTarget will be in beta testing at South Cache Middle School, Hyrum, UT during the 2019-20 school year.
